Recently, there has been a spike in hate crimes targeting Muslims, especially Muslim women, right here on the streets and subway of Toronto. Muslims have been distressed by this. But Muslims are also thankful for the heart-warming support of many allies who have stood up against such hate.

We, neighbours and community leaders, are coming together to stand in solidarity, speak out against division, and reaffirm our commitment to building a united, inclusive, hate-free community. We encourage you to join us!

There will be short statements by:

Joe Abbey-Colborne, Director of Faith in the City, an interfaith anti-poverty initiative

Rabbi Michael Satz of Holy Blossom Temple

Imam Shabir Ally of the Islamic Information & Dawah Centre

MP Julie Dzerowicz

Councillor Ana Bailao

& other community leaders

The evening will begin with the Muslim evening prayer at 7 p.m. You are welcome to observe or join the prayer. If you wish to skip the prayer, join us at 7:15, or whenever you can.
